View source for Shiren:Portrait

A '''Portrait'''{{UN}} {{JA|???|}} is a small image that accompanies dialogue or menus in the ''{{Meta|Shiren the Wanderer}}'' series. In most instances, it depicts the face a character expressing an emotion, although there have been occasional portraits that depict other things, such as objects.

==Style==
Portraits have used various styles across the series an have even made appearances outside of the main-series games. The other material uses the portraits taken from the games themselves.

They were not introduced in the ''Shiren'' series until ''Shiren 4 DS'', as {{RescueTeamTitle}} introduced the concept of {{Pkmn|portrait}}s in the ''Mystery Dungeon'' franchise in 2005.

===Shiren 4===
In their initial appearance, {{Shiren4DSTitle}}, they were made using 2D pixel art, and only for Pokémon that had story related dialogue.

===Shiren 5===
{{Shiren5DSTitle}} followed the same style as ''Shiren 4''. The same portraits are used in the same way in later re-releases of the game, with a higher quality rendition of them.

===Shiren 6===
{{Shiren6Title}} took a vastly different approach to portraits, as they aren't normal images, but instead simply display the 3D model of the character, showing its body in its entirety, with the same look as the overworld or dungeon models.
